NYCPHP Meetup

[Michael Southwell]

Thanks for all the responses (though many suggestions 
assumed--incorrectly--that I have access to the server).  It turns out that 
the problem was angle brackets in the $from variable ($from="my name 
<email at somewhere.xx>";), which were no problem on one site and a problem on 
the other one (haven't yet figured out why).  Changing them to entities 
fixed everything--but I think I'll just get rid of them anyway.
